AMERICAN INFANTINE ARITIIMETICIAN.—The son of Judge Clayton, of Athens, Georgia, about ten years of age, possesses the most asto n ishing arithmetical powers of mind. He can reduce any given number of miles to inches, years to seconds, &c. performing the whole operations in his head, and will give the result as quick as an expert calculator can with a pen. Among other ques. tions asked him were the following, which he solved with ease and expedition :—How many inches are there in 1,373,489 miles ? How often will a wheel 6 feet 6 inches in diameter turn over in 90 miles ? What is the cube root of 24,743,682 ? —He has on more than one occasion (eighteen months ago) raised the number twelve to its 15th power—that is to say, i multiplied that number nto itself fift een times. Ile can multiply three figures by three figures. The whole is performed by the bare strength of memory, for it , is done in the usual way ; there is no mystery in it, no short method or plan of his own. This faculty was discovered in him at about 8 years of age, and has most astonishingly improved since that time.—(New Fork Advertlyer.) THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Attatt. 12. This being the first day of Easter Term, the Loan Crum- CELLOR, the other Judges, and the principal Law Officers as sembled in Lincoln's-inn-hall, with the customary formalities. At about one o'clock the Loan CitaweEumn took his seat on the Bench. His Lonnst;tp stated; that he should not be able to give judgment in the cases of " Wellesley v. the Duke of Beaufort," and " Ex-parte Orimsteatl," until Tuesday morning. Nothing interesting took place befote the rising of the Court. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, APRIL 12. COLLINS v. MAR'L'IN. Mr. SHADWELL moved fur an injunction to restrain the defendant from publishing engravings frau two paintings which he had sold to plaintiff' for 8001. The subjects were Belshazzar's Feast and Joshua commanding Me Sun to stand still; and when disposing of the pictures, Alt. Martin stipulat ed that he would publish- no engravings from them whilst they remained in the plaintirs possession. Mr. HART and Mr. BannEe'resiiied the motion on behalf of Mr. Martin, whose affidavit stated, that the engravings which he was about to publish were,not taken from the paint legs . in' question, but from etching` which he had previously made, and to which he had made some addLiuns front his gination. The litcE.CtraxeEttoe said, that since the engravings `had not been made from the paintings sold to Mr. Collins, hut from etchings in .which that gentleiust had no propertyi he felt himself bound to refuse the injunction. - COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 12. This Was the first day of Easter Term. Air. Justice Hot.. ROTA sat in the Bail Court till half.past 1 o'clock, when , the Judges took their seats in the usual place. TILE SLING v. 111/ORES. This wee an information filed against the defendant, calling on him to shew by what authority he claimed to exercise the office of Mayor of Stafford. The cause was tried at the last Stafford Assizes, before Mr. Justice Park. The defendant had pleaded only one plat, setting forth a (Marter of the 12th James 1., whereby the mode of election was prescribed. Mr. CAMPBELL, by consent of the Learned Judge, now moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict for the defend ant should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for the Crown, on the ground of the insufficiency of evidence.—ltule granted. The LORD CHIEF .iusTlcr: stated, it might be convenient for Gentlemen at the Bar to understand that it had been arrang ed to take the business of the next week in the following order : —On Monday, the Peremptory Paper; Tuesday, the Special Paper; Wednesday, Motions for new trials; on Thursday, Motions fur judgment; Friday, the Special Paper; and Satur day, Motions for new trials; and also that it would be open for any Gentleman to move for judgment on any day besides Thurs. day. His Lordship further intimated, that one of his Learned Brothers would sit every morning at half-past nine, in the Bail Court, and another also in this Court at the same hour, to take motions of course ; and at 10 o'clock, all the Judges would take their scats, to proceed with the usual buiiness. ADDIti:TION 0? MISS TURNER. T;I4DAI. applied to the Court that Wm. Wakefield. who had been committed to Lancaster Castle, charged with aiding and assisting in the recent abduction of Miss Turner, might be admitted to bail. The prisoner now appeared in Court, having been brought up by writ of habeas Corpus, in the custody of Mr. Higgins, the gaoler of Lancaster Castle. The depositions of Miss Turner, as well as those of her father, and of Miss Dolby, of Liverpool, were read, reciting the facts which have been already before the public. Theyoung lady stated, that having been inveitiled from the protection of Miss Dolby, Mr. Edward Gibbon AV akefield,' with the assist ance of his brother William Wakefield, and Thevenot, the servant, succeeded in enticing her along with them, by constan promises of her meeting her father at each new stage whicht they reached. At Kendal Mr. Wakefield pndeeeived her with regard to the supposed illness of her mother, and he then as sured her, and frequently afterwards repeated, that such was the desperate state of her father's aff::+ - at that he could not hope to retrieve his fortune, or to appease th:hostility of his (Wake. field's) uncle, whom he represented as Ir. Turner's principal creditor, by any other means than by a union between his daughter and him (Edward Wakefield ) Miss Turner's de. position concluded with a positive declaration that she would never have acquiesced in the ceremony which was pertbrmed at Gretna, had she not been persuaded that such was her father's desire, and that it wits the only means of preserving her family from ruin. The Learned Counsel, on behalf of Mr. Wakefield, sub mitted that as no force had been used, the offence did not come within the statute; the only two statutes under which the e,tse was comprehended, were the 3d Henry VII. c. 2, against forcible abduction and afterwards marrying, and the 4th and sth Philip and Mary, c. 8, against fraudulently taking away and marrying In Fullwood's case, Croke Charles, 485, fierce was found in one county, and a voluntary consent in the next, and it was therefore held not to he a continuing fierce; and in the case of the Gordon% taking away a lady of the name of Lee, the moment a consent was found to have taken place, the pro secution was stopped. Mr. Justice l I AYLEY.—But in the case of the " King v. Brown," where the woman consented, the prisoner was con. victed and executed. She had quitted home, not knowing what was intended, and afterwards married him. Mr. TINDAL—I believe, my Lord, there was a force in taking her away : a confederate of the prisoner inveigled Lucy Ramsay into a coach in the park ; the prisoner then got in, de tained her, and took her to his lodgings in the Strand, and per- suaded her the next morning to marry him ; intwiediately after which he was apprehended. And, in the case of the " King v. Swainson," State Trials. 1709, tried at the bar of this Court, the evidence of Miss Rallins, t he lady who had been carried away by face, was, that she was at the time acting under the impulse of terror. _ The ATTentwEv.OENER M., for the prosecution, contended that Miss Turner having been carried away by means of fraud, it was quite sufficient to bring the case within the statute. In cases of burglsry, where proof of tnreffile entry was required, if the entry was obtained by fraud, it, was consifiered a con. structive force; and so, by anahN:ry, in the present case. How could her conduct be attribut e d t o an y thing else, when, by creating in her mind an erroneous impression, she was induced to do that which, under any other circumstances, she would not have done ? The LORD CH) Er JUSTlCE.—Supposing this to be a felony, Air. Attorney General, is it a capital offence ? The ATTORNEY (iENERAL.—No, my fiord : by the Ist. Cleo. IV., c. 116, the capital part, as far as relates to this king dom, is repealed, and the punishment altered to transportation for life, or ►even years, at the discretion of the Court. 11Ir. Justice IlAvi.Er.—Have you any case where the marriage has taken place subsequently out of the kingdom ? The A TTORNEY" GENERAL.—No, my Lord; taking away for marriage is the offence. Ile writes„ ti letter in England stating her to be his wife; but the marriage takes place over the border; and I submit that a question of such great moment should not be disposed of in a summary way. 'I he Long CH LET JUSTICE.—Mi this is a case of consider able importance, the Court will take time to consider of it. Let the prisoner continue in the same custody, and probably to morrow morning the Court will be prepared to decide on this application. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 12. This being the first day of Term, the Court assembled as usual, at a late hour, and no business of importance took place. PREROGATIVE COURT, APRIL 12. ))KW V. CLARKE. s . Yesterday Sir Joit;TishctioLs proceeded to deliver the judgment of the Court in the above cause. Ail its details have been so frequently before the public during the previous stages, it will be unnecessary to repeat them here. It may however be necessary to remind our readers that the suit is promoted by Mrs. Dew, for the purpose of revoking and setting aside the t will of her d ecease d f at h e r, who, under the influence of a i bulk wilo knew f n e his i s herii ropuenrittyedanind effects ct, praising e to the sat gestrange delusion with regar d to her moral character, bequeathed tle While every one tion with conduct, which sh e tr ea t e d her father, and th e propri et y an d deeor friends and stran gers as a profligate and abandoned creature ; r p enderness and tante rrennt st rs tg . inatised h e r t o and persecuted h e r w i t h a r elentless and unnatural c rue l ty .— '!'he tion th r e or tes th tft e to C i o= r was, influence of a deluded trwas, whether th e deed wax, dictated question by q and disordered imagination ; or whelher he was of sound intellect at the time ? In order to illustrate these propo sitions, the Learned Jadge reviewed and commented upon the evidence at considerable length ; the chief p ort i on of which, he said, bore him out in the assertion, that 3, 1826. .the extraordinary impression of the testator was a de - - cided proof of insanity. He particularly. dwelt on the testimony of the Rev. Mr. Barnet, who had been induced by the repreSentations of the testator to visit his daughter, the latter having described her as one possessed of satanic art-to be as cunning as the devil—and to embitter his life by her shock , ing misconduct. That gentleman, however, found her to be quite the reverse, and was struck with the peculiar propriety of her behaviour—with the anxiety she manifested to IN recon ciled to her father, in spite, of the treatment the had alwitytire. ceived from him—and with the keen 'deliCacy she displayed when speaking of the indignities to which he had subjected her. It was remarkable, he continued, that the father praised the affectionate interest he took in the welfare of his child, and gave himself credit for the utmost purity of feeling. After the Learned Judge had concluded his analysis of the evidence, he .alluded to the circumstances under which thedeed was granted; and here, he observed, that the owe with which it was revised by the testator, and the bearing of the instriicdons giVen .by hint, made out a strong case of sanity. But . when these onetime stances were opposed to the mass of evidence which belted de tailed, the presumption was entirely changel. 'That showed that, up to the-period of theetiisiiitoi's death . the-original delis. lion kept hold' of his mind ; for although he was seized with paralysis some time before that event, the effects of which might have been supposed to reduce hint to imbecility, yet it ,was elcarly proved that after this affliction had happened to hint, he rejected every overture of being teconeilekto his dough. ;ter, breaking out into the most violent exelamatioaa against a friend who attempted this humane act, ..u.t declared that the devil could only have sway e d him in making such a proposition. The various marks of eccentricity against the testator might not of themselves have been sufficient to determine the judg. anent of the Court ; but, as corroborating the predominant de. InsiOn which possessed the testator's intrul,• they strengthened:, the conclusion at which it was disposed tet arrive. It was evident that that delusion was deep rooted, and that under its influence the testator had dictated the deed which was the sub- ' ject of the suit. Notwithstanding the excellent charecter of the daughter that had been sworn to, her father bad aecu ed , her of depravity, violence, vice, hypocrisy, artifice, and every : thing that could disgrace the human character, and had con. stnted her conduct into a species of revolt and rebellion against his paternal authority. He had subjoeted her also to great harshness and indignity, by tying her to bed,poats, pulling out her hair by the roots, stripping her naked, rubbing her ; back with salt and water, and imposing upon her different kinds of household drudgery. These arts he represented to be ao Many proofs of paternal affletion and tenderness, and him. self to he a perfect pattern of purity —as pure as the Deity him, self. These considerations had led the Court to come to the conviction, after carefully guarding itself against all compn.ue. 'innate feelings towards the daughter, that the testator was not of sound mind, or non Compos mentis, when he executed the will, and that therefore it ought to, be revoked and set ' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 11A It I,BOROUG 11-STREET. ...... . FRAUDS AT TIIE it EDEN T-STHEET COACU•OFFICE.— Joseph Lance:ter, junior the proprietor of the . " Atlas steatn packet, royal mail, coach, van, and waggon, bookinkoffice,” at the corner of the Regent Circus, Piccadilly, way again brought before Sir UEOHOE TARRANT, rstertlay, for fur ther examination on various charges of losing or embezzling the parcels and packages committed to his care; and again the Justice Room was uerowded to an overflow, by fresh troops of clamourous complainants against him. Among them were some persons who stated that they had book• ed a parcel at the prisoner's office, containing a aunt of money which had been raised by subscription in London for the use of a distressed widow in the country ; which parcel had not reached its destination, and they had' no doubt its con tents had been embezzled by the prisoner or some of his people. Of this, however, they had at, present no proof, and fur uny thing. they were prepared to show to the contrary, the parcel might have been lost in the regular way ;" in which c.tse they would have no remedy but by civil action. This appear ed to be the case, too, with all the other complainants; and therefore no evidence was gone into with respect to any of them. Throughout the inquiry the prisoner's father vehemently votested, as at the first examination, that his sop bed been made the dupe and the " nape gout" of his boosc-Itecper, Abbot, who, it will be recollected, has been a principal wit ness for the prosecution ; and, in proof of this protestation, the tether said he was now ready to prove that one of the ten pound bank notes stolen out of Mr. Addison's parcel had been paid away by Abbot. He therefore meant to charge him with the Upon this charge abbot was now placed at the bur by the side of his master ' • and evidence was given to show th a t he (Abbot) had received change for the note in question, from a botcher living in Jermyn-street,' Abbott, in his defence, readily admitted having changed a 101. note, as described ; but he solemnly denied having stolen it, or knowing that it h ad been stolen. He was in the habit of going out for change for notes, whenever change was wanted ; and he well recollected, with respect to this particular note, that his master called him into the office, and, pointing to the note which then lay on the counter, told him to go out and get it changed, as he wanted to give change to a gentleman who was there, booking himself by one of the western coaches. Accord ingly he ran out with the note, and having applied at several shops without success,, he at last procured ten sovereigds for it at .11r.

BAn INGRATITUDE.—Yesterday a seaman named Henry Nathan was brought up from Portsmouth, in custody of Leg get, a constable of that place, charged with having stolen from Affixes Bryst; an Isrealite, riding in Stoney-lane, a watch and four sovereigns. „• From the statement of the prosecutor it appeared, that on Wednesday week he met the prisoner, who had just landed from the Repulse Indiaman, in a state ofi intoxication, and tttit ing pity, from having knoWn him formerly, and finding that he was completely destitute, having been robbed while under the influence of inebriety, he took tutu into his house, and support ed him at his own expellee until Saturday last, when he ab scOnded while the prosecutor was asleep, and stole from off' his table a watch, and four sovereigns out of his pocket. On miss ing them he made inquiries, and ascertained that the prisoner had gone to Portsmouth, whither he followed and had him taken into custody. The officer, on searching him, found the duplicate - of .the watch, which had been pledged in Portsmouth, and which, on its being produced by the p a w n brok er ( w h o was present , an d proved that the prisoner was the person who made the pledge), was identified by the prosecutor us his property. The prisoner denied his guilt, anti was about to be fully com mitted, when it was discovered that the robbery had taken place in the city; whither he was immediately transferred. CONSEQUENCES OF 'P•ICE M It AT BROMLEY.—Ca /habit! M'Carthy and Catherine Maloney, were brought from Bromley, the scene of the late melancholy catastrophe, charged, the first with having threatened to take away the life of Margaret Dodd, one of the witnesses on the prosecution of the Carthys, who were convicted of manslaughter, at the - present Sessions at the old Bailey, and the other with having made similar threats towards Hannah Burke. The Magistrates commented on the very improper and cri urinal conduct of the prisoners ' and ordered them to enter into regcognances, of the solvency of which they were to give twenty four hours notice to appear at the next session, and keep the peace fur three calendar months. to haul her out of th e On Saturday afternoon a fatal accident occur red on,board the Australian Company's ship Portland, in th e to which the leading block is hooked, with the rope front the capstan , gave way , and the block struck the dock, 1 t he)o D o ck, . e , ve. ,Le bo it i l t i : attempting two boys on the head avho were holding the rope, and injured o ne of them (a fine boy of the name of Cleghorn) oto much as to came his death next morning.

PRICE SEVENPENtE. SOCIETY FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF MENDICITY, Yesti , rility the subserilrers rind friends to 1,1114 Institution held their eightli - Stimial Meeting, at the Freon*. sons"favern, Great Queen.:street. The /tight Honourable the Earl of Iliabwicau in the chair.—There were - also re sent, Lords Rolle, Calthorpe, Dudley and Ward, De la Gagi, Licutenant-Getieral Thorntoo, General Neville, Sir James 'Anglian), Hart., Hon. Captain Bowles, SiUTIVeI Crompton ' 'Esq., ALP.. and seieral others. The noble Cual 'lmam opened the business of the Aleeting by calling on the Hon. Secretary, al r. W. If. Bodkin, to read the report ofthe raft year. The Committee, after briefly adierting to the progress of the Society, submitted a summary statement of regihtere4 cases which had come under their cognizance, amounting it; all to 1,090, comprising natives of almost every country in the habitable globe, the great majority. of whom were either pro- . vided for through the means of the Society, or referred . to their parishes anti 405 were rejected as impostors and eon. firmed vitgrante, 1915 of whom were ordered to be prose.. wed. Theeeport theti adVerted to the increased demands upon the iniitlttion, and regretted that the income of the last year' had so greatly declined, that it did not keep up with the ettlie9diture. The Committee had therefore been com pelled to ericroach on the capital first subscribed, but did not think themselves justified: in so doing, without having laid before the public a statement of the case. In this statement, which was circulated on the Oth of 151arch l the objects of the Institution were explained under three distinct licads—naniely, First, for atibrding relief to mendicants, who appear, upon ' Investigation, to have been forced into the streets by nem.. city, or procuring such relief from proper sources. Secondly, for restraining impostors, by the ,employment of constables to • perambulate the streets,. for the purpose of apprehending and enforeiog the law against such Offenders. Thirdly, the-sirs. tem of inquiry into the Merits of begging-letter writers. 'the annual expense of carrying on the establishment of these prin.' ciples was computed to average about 3,5001. per annum, whilst the average income did not exceed -40001. per annum, so that a deficiency of about 7001. a year has been incurred. After ma. turqy examining every item, in order to ascertain whether any diminution of expenditure could be effected, the managers de cided that no rcauction could take place, without materially injuring the operation of the society; and the total abolition 9f one or more of these branches seemed to be the only efficient means of conducting the institution on an eligible footing. Great difficulty occurred in the rejection of any of these three branches : and in order to avoid so unpleasant an alternative, the managers deemed it advisable to ascertain how far his Ma jesty's Government might be disposed to sanction the grant, of'. an annual sum equal to the expense of the coercive branch of the Society:a proceedings, which, branch, it was th oug h t , m i g h t with propriety be considered as an auxiliary to the metropolitan police. In reply to a communication on that subject, the Se.. cretary of State said, " That the utility of the society mainly depended on its continuing a private Institution, enforcing the existing law by its own means, and not borrowing 'any part of its energy from the aid of the Government • that the associa tion had his best wishes, anti that he should hear with regref that its efforts were relaxed, because' he believed it to be a oseful and well-conducted establishment." Under' such cir cumstances, it only remained for the managers to discontinue the first and second branches, or to endeavour to raise the re gular income oldie society, by the amount of 7001. per ann., without which it could not maintain the level of its past effici ency. The report concluded by noticing the attacks which have been recently made on the institution by a portion of the public press,.and entreated that the fru:lids to the Society would prove the injustice of such aspersions by inquiry and nivesti , ! gis inn. !.ord DE LA NVAnn moved that the Report be adopted and printed. fie was glad to find, that in consequence of the statement: alluded tn,in -the report, many 'of the - subscribers had agreed to double the amount of their contributions. With respect to the discontinuance of any one of the three branches, he should be most aorry that the begging-letter department should be given up. Every one knew, that before this was established, public generosity was exposed to a continual sys tem of fraud anti imposition. SAMUEL CHO3IPTO4 Esq., M.P., seconded the motion. Considering the comparatively midi income of the Society, it was quite evident that it had done a v ast d ea l o f goo d. bon. don wits, of course, the great resort of persons seeking employ-' ment, and, when disappointed in their expectationi, and thrown on the world without the means or support, they had hereon nnfailing . refuge. it was also' admirably calculated to snatch young and ignorant females from ruin and crime. Lieut—tieneral THOnNT6N agreed generally in the prin ciples on which the Institution had been conducted, but con sidered that the begging letter department did not form , one of the primary ob j ects for which the subscribers had given their money, but had been subsequently added; and was to be sup ported by separate contributions. The' great object he eon- - coved was to keep common beggars out of the street; end if the first branch was to be placed on an efficient footing, this object would be fully accomplished. NVith respevt to the em. pluyment of constables, for the apprehension of sturdy vagrants, he thought that this was often hazardous, as it trenched on the prerogative of the metropolitan police ; but he begged to im press on the attention of the meeting, that it great deal.of the evil was to be attributed to the defective system of education pursued in the great national schools. It wallowing to the youth of both sexes not being instru c t e d in s o me use f u l labour, that so many Idle characters were constantly parading the streets. If these were remedied, he was confident the evil would soon . e The Noble. CHAIRMAN, in moving the Resolutions, took nto elution to observe that he considered the begging letterdtpart r meat to be one of the most valuable branches of the institution, and he earnestly hoped that the funds of the Society would en.s sure its continuance. Lord DUDLEY AND \Vann proposed the second Resolution: His Lordship trusted that all the branches would be continued, because he could hear testimoney to their good effects. He agreed with the Noble Chairman, that the begging letter de partment was of the first importance, because it detected impos ture, and directed the current of public benevolence into a pro.; per channel. It had been objected that when letters were re ferred to the Society, the decision was unfavourable to the writers; but that he would most distinctly deny. No applica.: tion of this kind was ever rejected, but on the strictest examina don into the truth of the writer's appeal ; by this means the fraudulent beggar was detected, and relief always afforded to the deserving, Lord CALTrionrE felt persuaded that the mo r e t hi a d van . tages of this institution were- inquired into, the mores abundant would its resources become. Charity, bestowed through such a medium, was More the result of the judgment than a mere surrender of importunity. Nothing was so calculated to steel the heart against the claims which, genuine distress; possessed, as the conviction of continual deception ; and it was well known that in the metropolis there were a vast number of petunia whose whole subsistence was created by praitices on the best feelings of humanity by a fictitious display of suffering and destitutiom The resolution which he had the honour of seconding, was a vote of thanks to the illustrious patron of the Society, his Royal Highness; the Duke of York t and if any thing were wanting to raise it in public estimation, such patronage would ensure its success. Lord- nat.'. E then moved a vote of thanks to the President, the Duke of Northumberland. His Lordship mentioned a case which had come under his own observation, which marked his practical benefits of the system on which the Society was conducted. BIWA RI) PEN RH Y N", Esq., seconded the ruOtion, and trusted that the labours of eight years would not now, be suffered to de. cline front want of adequate support. J. WEYLAND, Esq., returned flasks ou behalf of the Duke of Northumberland. Viscount GAGE moved a vote of thanks to the Honorary Officers of the Society, and declared it to be Ids consclentiotra opinion that the metropolis did not boast of a more valuable in stitution. W.
